Amodei's three-step plan to pace AI development wins Altman and Musk but draws mockery from Trump and a Cold War accusation from Beijing.

  • 01. Step one: embedded evaluators like METR with desks, badges and the right to publish; Anthropic now, OpenAI to follow
  • 02. Trump: the only guardrail AI needs is a high-IQ president; Global Times: a Cold War playbook aimed at China
Dario Amodei's essay We Must Pace the Frontier proposes three steps to slow AI capability gains: embedded third-party evaluators with permanent employee-level access (which Anthropic is adopting unilaterally and Sam Altman says OpenAI will match), industry-wide pacing through legislation or an antitrust waiver, and international agreements with China backed by chip export controls. Elon Musk backed it. Donald Trump said Amodei is pretending to be a perfect little angel and the only guardrail AI needs is a high-IQ president. China's Global Times called the essay a Cold War playbook.
